the poke will depend on the width/offset of the wheels....I run 8.5" tires all the way around with no poke...I wish I could have gotten 9" actually
if the beetle wheels are less than 8" wideand the offset isn't too outrageous, he could get away with spacers and no poke

Its when the wheels stick out just a little past the fender.
hmmmm that may be a possibility....... thanks for the help guys/gals

those wheels are skinny enough that with adaptors there will still be no poke
the adaptors will cost you about 200$ and the wheels will cost you another $500 and you will need a new set of tires ~$4-500 and on top of that you will have to come out of pocket another $100 to have the new tires mounted and balanced
so, you are lookin at spendin over 1k on a set of what I think are an ugly a$$ set of wheels
I would say hell no on those...
for the $ you can get a sexy sey of rs4 reps or a nice set of fliks/ADR/Stern....the list goes on and on
for 1k you can have a brand new set of amazing looking wheels and tires mounted on your car
I gor my reps on eBay for 500 and I paid about 280 for a brand new set of tires, and then they were mounted and balanced for another 125
so, for a brand new set of what I think are pretty sexy wheels/tires/mounted and balanced...I spent $905
well, gl!
